We are in a very dynamic time for chemical distributors and producers. The industry is going through a transformation, driven by a wide array of trends and factors from rising oil, high energy prices to changing legislation. As the present chemical industries mature, an increased trend towards high value-added intelligent products is to be seen in the fine chemicals and specialties field.

Chemists and chemical engineers need a new set of skills to successfully address the new challenges. Paramount among these are analytical thinking, systems understanding, team compatibility, solid technical knowledge, and practical work experience.
